Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of the RAFT (Role, Audience, Format, Topic) strategy in teaching personal letters to eleventh-grade students at SMA N 3 Kisaran. Many students often face difficulties in starting their writing, expressing ideas, and organizing content in a personal letter. The RAFT strategy is used to help students write from a specific perspective, focus on the intended audience, and follow the correct format. This descriptive qualitative research was conducted through observation, student writing analysis, and interviews. The results showed that RAFT helped students generate ideas more easily, improved the structure and relevance of their letters, and increased their engagement during writing activities. Students also reported that the strategy made the task more meaningful and enjoyable. Therefore, the RAFT strategy can be considered an effective alternative to support students' writing skills in personal letter texts.

Abstract

This research explores how role play activities can transform English speaking skills among Grade 11 students at SMAN 1 Kisaran. The study was conducted using a quasi-experimental design with 60 students divided into experimental and control groups over 8 weeks. The experimental group participated in structured role play sessions three times per week, engaging in scenarios like restaurant conversations, job interviews, and shopping dialogues. Data was collected through pre-tests, post-tests, classroom observations, and confidence surveys. The findings show remarkable improvements: students in the role play group increased their speaking fluency by 38%, accuracy by 35%, pronunciation by 29%, and confidence by 42% compared to the control group. The research demonstrates that role play creates an engaging, low-pressure environment where students naturally develop their speaking skills by "becoming" different characters, which reduces anxiety and encourages experimentation with the language. The study concludes that role play should be integrated as a core teaching strategy in Indonesian high schools to address students' fear of speaking English, making language learning more effective and enjoyable.

Abstract

This research analyze the implementation of English language assessments for listening, speaking, reading, and writing based on the principles of validity, reliability, practicality, authenticity, and washback.The assessment is administered into 27 students of seventh grade at SMP Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar. The research aims to evaluate how the designed assessments align with effective assessment principles while addressing classroom realities.The quality of the test is analyzed by using mixed-method approach, quantitative analysis utilized the Pearson Product-Moment and Split-Half methods to measure validity and reliability, while qualitative analysis examined practicality, authenticity, and washback through observation and student feedback. The findings indicate that while several test items fulfilled validity and reliability criteria, many required revision to enhance alignment with learning objectives and improve consistency. Practicality was evident as the assessments could be conducted within time and resource limitations, although challenges appeared in scoring and analysis processes. Authenticity was reflected in the use of materials and tasks closely related to students' daily contexts, promoting meaningful language use. Additionally, the assessments generated positive washback, motivating students to engage actively in learning while providing teachers with insights for instructional improvement. These results highlight the significance of designing assessments that are not only aligned with curriculum goals but also promote comprehensive language skill development. The research contributes to enriching assessment literacy among pre-service teachers and emphasizes the continuous need for reflection and refinement in language assessment practices to foster effective English learning environments in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study analyses the legal vocabulary acquisition experiences of law students in Indonesia using a Legal English application with focus on its use as an educational tool in digital environment. A qualitative case study approach was adopted whereby data were gathered from 5 th semester law students in one of the State Islamic Institute in Central Kalimantan Indonesia who implemented the application for a week. Results show that although students perceived the app as easy to use and helpful for improving their legal vocabulary, several issues were revealed as necessitating urgent attention, especially the app’s ability to monitor progress. Learners appreciated several of the lessons which the instructors felt were fun and linked to law practice. However, such assessments of the app were constrained by app limitations and short usage duration. The app and its accompanying programs contributed to some degree, to the development of vocabulary suggesting that more varied interactions and adequate tracking features should accompany such programs.
